Liz Dunshee

California is joining seven other states & cities in proposing a tax consequence based on pay ratios. This article from Allen Matkins’ Keith Bishop gives the details. It notes that the bill would establish the following net income tax rates, beginning next year:

– Ratio between 0 & 50 – 8.84%

– Ratio between 50 & 100 – 10%

– Ratio between 100 & 200 – 11%

– Ratio between 200 & 300 – 12%

– Ratio over 300 – 13%
